Odd, I only see
$ apt-file search epkowa.conf
libsane-extras: /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
I'll Cc debian-devel because this is all over my head.
Wait, you said Avasys ships debian packages...
So for safety you don't delete... hmmm, special... perhaps beyond

Perhaps upon purge a special message should be printed...
